A miracle occurred a hundred years ago today, a miracle at Fatima
Portugal. In a much more minor miracle, Jeff and Vinnie try not to
blaspheme while discussing it. Try, not succeed. Also a quiz about the
career of General Pershing, the world's shortest Theodore Roosevelt
film, and more sad! French! war songs!

WEEK EIGHTEEN: HP Lovecraft
What a blockbuster week A Hundred Years Ago Today! The world’s first exoplanet! The French protest song that was banned for over 50 years! HP Lovecraft’s Dagon! That time when one hundred Super Marios all turned Jeff down! Vinnie's feelings about the cosplay community -- shockingly, he's
not a fan. Plus a Price Is Right Quiz on money circa 1917.

WEEK SEVENTEEN: Ella Fitzgerald
It's Ella Fitzgerald's hundredth birthday! It's Babe Ruth's no-hitter!
It's wondering what ever happened to the Brooklyn Robins and the St.
Louis Browns! It's wondering what's creepier, not cursing or smoking
cigars! It's the 1917 podcast!

WEEK SIXTEEN: Charlie Chaplin
Jeff and Vinnie try out moon pies -- started in 1917! -- the driest dessert this side of Dorothy Parker's rapier wit. They discuss the very first actor who played James Bond -- BC, before Connery -- who was born this week in 1917. Then the main event, as we dig into the classic Charlie Chaplin short The Immigrant. Come for Jeff explaining sight gags, stay for Vinnie's theories on who's "really" an immigrant!
